Abstract

Many original equipment manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers have recently proposed various vehicle corner concepts. This technology offers numerous benefits for enhancing vehicle dynamics but presents several challenges. Field testing of the corners installed on a vehicle demonstrator could be an ideal solution to address these challenges. Nevertheless, the proof-of-concept development phase also requires studies on the component and system levels. In this regard, a vehicle corner test rig designed for hardware-in-the-loop testing provides a balanced alternative that combines the accuracy, complexity, and accessibility of experimental works. Real suspension components, including a rotating wheel with tyre, provide realistic suspension kinematics and compliance that are very similar to those experienced in real driving scenarios. However, this approach has limitations because the tyre contact forces and loading conditions cannot be fully replicated in a laboratory environment. This paper explores these aspects and describes a developed comprehensive methodology for eliminating inaccuracies, with results validated accordingly.
